Well I never expected to be this impressed with Mendoza. The journet form Santiago started with panic, as Si needed to be in front of a TV to watch his scummy team liverpool play in Europe. Well we did the Chille Argentina border crossing in time and things were looking good, untill the Bus guy added an extra hour and half on to the journey. This was not what Si wanted to hear and he started to flap.Without any waring he made an escape route staight away, which c...

Well After leaving Santiago and heading down south to start a stint of trekking I never thought that I would actually go back there. We ending up making a detour on our way to Buenos aires.

What a beautiful place it was, lots of mountains. I saw my first Condors, on the ground and in flight, which was special to me as I have always wanted to see the flight of the condor. Chille is a wicked place with some fantastic memories for me. The wine was cheap and nice. I am a...
